In 2015 Billabong took the baton from Mr Price (former organizer), agreeing to carry on the proud legacy of the world's longest running progressional surfing event as it enters its 47th year. The Ballito Pro Presented by Billabong is an international surf and lifestyle event hosted in Ballito, the jewel of KwaZulu-Natal's North Coast, renowned for its idyllic seaside setting. Also, and more importantly: it offers some of the best beachbreak barrels in the country.
Last 24 surfers were determined, advancing to the next heats and even though the event has seen only two rounds so far - history was made already. Sixteen year old Sam Cele of North Beach, Durban, South Africa became the first Zulu female surfer to compete in a World Surf League Event in Ballito!
The first of 16 GKA Kite World Tour events begins in Cape Verde this month.
Ten islands make up the archipelago of Cabo Verde which lies two hours south of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, due to their geographical location the islands are frequented with pumping swell and trade winds.
